Add a Custom Font to Your Squarespace Buttons: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Adding a Button To begin, navigate to the section of your Squarespace website where you want to add a button. Simply click on a block and select the "Button" option. You can then position the button wherever you prefer. If you're following along, feel free to use a pre-created button or create a new one.

Step 2: Importing the Custom Font Now, it's time to import the custom font. You can find the necessary code in the description below the video. Copy the code provided and proceed to the next step.

@font-face {font-family: 'FONTNAME'; src: url(); }

.sqs-block-button-container a{

font-family: YourCustomFont !important;

}

Step 3: Accessing Custom CSS Access the Custom CSS section of your Squarespace website by typing "/CSS" in your browser's address bar. Once there, paste the copied code into the designated area.

Step 4: Uploading the Font File Download the desired font from a reputable source, such as Google Fonts. After downloading, navigate to the "Custom Files" section in Squarespace and select "Fonts." Upload the font file you obtained.

Step 5: Specifying the Custom Font In the CSS code you pasted earlier, locate the section where the custom font is specified. Replace the placeholder text with the name of the font you uploaded. This step ensures that the custom font is applied to your buttons.

Step 6: Finalizing the Changes Once you've updated the CSS code with the name of your custom font, save the changes. You'll notice that the font of your buttons has now been updated to reflect your chosen custom font.

By following these straightforward steps, you can easily add a custom font to the buttons on your Squarespace website, enhancing its visual appeal and overall design aesthetic. Experiment with different fonts to find the perfect match for your site's style and branding.
